Nouvelle invention de lever l'eau plus hault que sa source avec quelques machines movantes par le moyen de l'eau et un discours de la conduite d'ycelle : par Isaac de Caus
Isaac de Caus's 1644 treatise, printed in French, sets out engineering methods for raising water higher than its source using water-powered machines, aimed at engineers and garden designers. The plates are engraved mechanical drawings of pumps, waterwheels, and drum-like machinery, with clean hatching and labelled parts that a designer could borrow for period diagrams or technical line art.
